TIE MOUSE SKIN MARKET.
The Dainty Little Drab Skin Is Worth $50
n Hundred.
Lewiston journal.


Lewiston journal
The story goes that the fur runner has
one section Of Maine in which his sp-
pearence on fur buying trip is an event
About everybody sells 10 him, and be
hasn't made any mistake in his buying
He cultivates this section. He saves his
best Jokes and his funniest stories fol-
this locality Hence his grip is good,
and he don't want to lose it.
Il wae after 8 successful expedition
into this section recently that the fur
runner fell stalking. Now, there is dan
ger when man falls a-tslklDg, and on
this day in question the peltTy king told
yarns and talked about furs, and how
money could be made and lost in them.
Said he to the listeners: "Why don't
you save up some mice skins?- The mar
ket is big or mice. They are worth,
femme se-they are worth about SO g
hundred" And then he smiled COM
placently as q man spoke up and said:
''B' gosh, is that fact? Well now, you
pet we cod get bushel on 'em in week
if we was mind to.' It was only just
sort Of Joke, and he went away forget
ting to remove the impression.
Several months passed Gud he went
back again, bargaining and buying. He
mad traded for good many furs, when in
the course of the trade the seller said:
The bows have got lots Of mice skins for
you" The buyer looked wondernglY,
snd then up out OF the past came the Wis
ion of his previous iBlquity. They have,
have they?" replied he. "Well, l DOR
know exactly. Did ! say Ia lake 'em?"
THAT'S what YOU said was the reply.
Ten dollars hundred, aud the boys has
about 200 of lem"
1t was 3 sad fact. The industrious
boys had fully that number of mice SKINS
stretched on boards. The buyer had to
invent something, and 50 he seid that the
market had dropped of over three
quarters slice he was here before, and
Ne ended by settling with the boys fer
rive-dollar bill. 1t would never have
done TO have declined them, for that
might have spoiled the trade on more
szeable and marketable pelts in that
vicinity forever.

HOG PRODUCTS.
There has been less activity in specula-
tive lines this week. Receipts of hogs at
western centers have been heavier. The
corner on July pork at Chicago remains
intact, and the current option at Chicago
costs more than 1t did Leading markets
were quiet and steady yesterday, except
June pork 81 Chicago, which was forced
! up to 500 in settlement. The aggregate
| packing Of hogs at western points during
the past week has been $50, 900, against
! $50, 900 for the corresponding week last
year The total from March to date
was 2,ls5,000, against 100000 last

DRY GOODS AND CLOTHING.
| In the absence OF new features, the
| New York market remains moderately
active with prices as g whole strongly
held, in several instances at an advance
| Agents report fair volume of business
in fall wear cotton goods. Jobbers are
relatively the most active. Clearing out
sales snd drives by prominent houses are
the most important events of the week
The effects of the late flannel sales are
seen in the strong tone of the market for
those goods. Advanced prices for wool
have caused prices for general woolens TO
assume a firm tone. Some makes o,
blankets and Jersey cloths have been ad-
varced in sympathy with the higher range
of the raw product. Dress goods are in
restricted sales, while mems wear goods
show no change. Foreign goods are quiet,
as usual al this time, but orders for fall
dress goods are reported of q good VOL

Ex-senator Camden is reported
as saying, after his defeat at Char
lesion, that "it was the appoint.
ment of McGraw that created the
opposition in his own party and
caused his defeat. and that it was a
mistake" If true it took him a
long time to find it out. Our re.
collection is that Ex-Gov. Jacob B.
Jackson, when speaking to the Pres.
ident, Camden being present, with a
large delegation, told the President
that the party in West Virginia was
opposed to it and that Camden and
Kenna did not represent the wishes
of the West Virginia Democrats
and that they would resent it if
made. Camden and Kenna defied
them and .McGraw was appointed.
Camden has been defeated, Kenna's
turn win come in 1889. Time at
last sets all things even."-Gafton

Rev. L. Butt. and by the Masonic
order of which he was an acceptable
member. The large procession of
Masons and citizens who followed his
remains to the grave in some measure
showed their appreciation of his worth

WILMINGTON, June 1.-Engine
No. 317, of the Baltimore and Poto.
mac Railroad, yesterday finished
her remarkable attempt to beat the
worlds record, and the iron monster
accomplished 1t. She started on
May / to beat the best previous re
cord ever made by a locomotive
during month, which is supposed
to have been 16,O37 miles made by
an engine on the Pennsylvania main
line. No, 317 made 1850 miles in
the thirty-one-days. She made two
round trips daily between -Philadel.
phia and Washington, changing
crews with every trip. She was
inspected after returning from a
run. She averaged 500 miles a day.
or about 3S miles per hour of actual
running time, including stops. The
experiment was made under the
supervision of j. M. Wallis, superin.
tendent of motive power, and was
very satisfactory. The engine did
the duty of two locomotives, and is
none the worse for wear. She is
only an ordinary locomotive, not
unlike many others on the road.
The distance in the thirty.one days
is over two thirds the distance round
the globe.
